Leadership

‘Forget the status quo. It has become a ticket to obsolescence. There is no more business as usual’.

‘The challenge is clear. For anyone in a profession – but especially all educators – creating a future is the essence of leadership. None of us, nor our organisations, can be frozen in time. Instead, we need to see ourselves as works in progress. Unless we constantly lead the process for shaping a future, someone else will do it for us. The world will not stand still. It’s that simple, and that complex.

(Gary Marx – Future Focused Leadership)
